Microsoft Flow is an Office 365 tool which allows users to automate workflows across a broad range of applications and cloud services which are now integral to most business users.

Despite the promise and potential of new applications delivering time savings the constant stream of notifications, messages and need to move information from one platform to another can diminish the experience of new applications.

The most common Flows are around Request Approvals, Adding Conditions, Use of On-Premise Data and Secure Working.

Microsoft Flow allows users to automate many of these workflows. Either through a growing number of templates or by creating their own bespoke workflow.
